I have to disagree with you there about "fibromyalgia".

This disorder is often misdiagnosed, and often the term can be applied loosely.

Within the past 4 yrs or so, new diagnostic criteria are being applied to patients suspected of fibromyalgia.

I have a sticky link above with some of that research detailed, that I received during a medical conference.

Fibromyalgia today, is a thought to be a central pain disorder, and inheritable. We also have a new thread somewhere on PN that had study results showing reduced sensory fibers in patients with Fibro diagnoses. This was done with a skin punch biopsy. I don't have a link to that, but you can search for it over there if you are interested further.

Metabolic problems remain controversial, and clinics run by NON medical doctors, should be viewed with caution.
There are holistic medical facilities in most teaching hospitals, which IMO would be the better choice. That is just my opinion.
